Hi SD,
looking for some suggestions for songs to add to our playlist for our summer vacation driving. Taking the family for a couple weeks on the road to visit NYC, Boston and Philadelphia mainly and looking for some traveling tunes that are about the cities or at least mention the cities. Genre isn’t important.
Bonus points for songs about Harrisburg, Pa, Mystic CT and/or Vermont.
The Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer In the City.” One of the great NYC songs, possibly the first great “summer song” ever (1966).
Great video; John Sebastian is all “Lookit us, we’re lip-syncing to the record! Oops, there’s an automobile honk, yet none of us onstage has access to a car horn! I am SO HIGH.”
Laura Nyro’s masterpiece 1969 album New York Tendaberry.
